"Post pandemic this may be a more flexible company for parents. Pre-pandemic I would have encouraged any woman to join the company only if (1) she had the hours to give or (2) was exceptional at setting boundaries and sticking to them"

"The updated maternity & parental leave policies are competitive. (For birth parents, 15 weeks 100% pay & 6 weeks 100% pay for non-birth parents.) It is a good company and you see female leadership throughout each organization and within the executive team. Unfortunately, career pathing is not a strong suit and it can result in having a lack of trajectory. To keep the best talent, they need to be more competitive with career growth opportunities and compensation, establish better work/life balance, and stop rewarding good work with MORE work. "

"While supportive, we've had high turnover in leadership (5 leaders in the last 3 years -- even more if looking back further) -- so this is tricky. "

"The new maternity leave benefits are great -- 16 weeks paid! There are several women in leadership positions, although not as many as you may like. Work/life balance depends a lot on your specific team and role. Certain positions can be very demanding and/or require a lot of travel, which can make work/life balance more difficult."

"It really depends a lot on your manager -- some are very understanding about flexible hours and some are more rigid."
